The purpose of tile in this project is shifted from old-school work-balancing to memory saving for high-res rendering. This implies that the tile should be much larger that typical size in regular Cycles. Hence the name Big Tile!

  • Desktop environment: KDE
  • Hardware: Intel i9-11900k, Asus Maximus XIII, NVIDIA RTX 6000 & 5000
  • Keyboard: Cherry MX-Board 3.0 - Red switches
